What "man jobs" have you done today?

Swore a bit when I discovered the source of water ingress in the garage, having moved about 2 months ago and what with the recent heavy rain.

Initially I thought rising damp but found there to be puddles of standing water, far too much for damp, given no wet patches on the roof lining or joists. Looked to be running down the wall inside.

So despite the state of this externally I might (short term) be lucky in that this is a gutter issue given the 'snake' laid in currently. Strangely the gutter sits directly on the top course of bricks, as opposed to being mounted on the side.

Off to find some bricks and a mortar rake.

Managed to dig out all the rotten timber on Youtube Wally's build and finish the feather edge at the back.
8m x 2.5m of shuttering ply, batons and finished with 2.3cm Feather edge.

All rot removed from the front and side and building raised 5cm on the end and temp supports added.

Next job is to run all cable and change strip lights to something less workshop and then line the whole thing out with
8x4 board.
